ive stumbled across a facebook page for the men who lost their life and comments all seem to be the same. So many family members saying they are disgusted and didnt want it aired
I remember these comments about that.
i think Ricky Neaves episode the family said they didn't give permission for that too
Sorry I just have to correct this, the chap in this case sadly took his own life BEFORE the show aired x
Was it? Sorry, that’s my mistake. I read about it after the show aired & I thought I read he’d taken his life afterwards. Just googled & it & you’re right. That was another extremely sad situation, needless violence with another innocent man & his family paying the price.
I was so sad when I saw that at the end of the programme. I found the programme fascinating to see how they try to take down OCGs but the fact that this poor guy got needlessly caught up in all that and it eventually cost him his life was so heartbreaking.
I thought it was really awful that there wasn’t one family member who could’ve taken her in, obviously got no relationship with the mum’s side either
Nicks mam comes across as a really loving grandmother on Facebook so it seems odd that she went to foster placement instead.
I would imagine it is the Police as it is their footage and they wouldn't give it out if they didn't want it aired.
I would've thought that they needed permission from the family to air this. The footage was so graphic and it feels unfair on loved ones to need to relive it. I understand its good for the public to see what dangers there are and how violence can escalate but not at the expense of others. I would feel upset if I said no I don't want it shown and they did it anyway.
played a big part in the outcome of this whole sorry mess.
